Certainly the fourth one is very unconcerned, isn't it?

And you're right. The third one does look like he's instructing them. Maybe he steps in to show them how it's done.

This is what happens when you put a bunch of boys together and they go out drinking and one of them says something that offends one of the others. Then they start talking trash to each other and the next thing you know a small riot has started.

@RubyHawk You're quite right - well, mostly. I don't know of any that may not turn aggressive under some circumstances.

They looked like they are happily playing with each other but in reality, they are fighting over something. Maybe flexing their strength to show who is the alpha amongst themselves.

I can't remember now but you wouldn't know if one is pregnant as the baby is born the size of a jellybean and claws its way to the pouch.

@JudyEv There is something beautiful about them, their beauty strikes me similar to what I see when I see a deer. Kangaroos are the deer from down under I think.

@Juliaacv There are quite a few similarities. Some love them; some hate them. Both destroy crops and gardens and are a danger on the roads.

Someone once said if there are two roos not fighting, they aren't roos. lol I guess the 4th one just doesn't want any confrontation. Or it is the female shaking her head at the absurdity of male behavior. lol

Births occur all year round in the western greys but peaks in spring and summer. Gestation is around 36 days so they are probably getting fairly dinkum about their fights by now.
